"True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by."
~E. S. Bouton~

She also wrote works on health and beauty for women and one on etiquette, beside pamphlets. She published books, wrote for the newspaper press and served as editor of the "Household", the "Saturday Salad" and the "Home Talk" columns of the Toledo Daily Blade.
